County Fair Quilt

sd1
This is Sandra’s County Fair quilt and the pattern is by Fig Tree & Co.  The fabrics are Moda Farmhouse also by Fig Tree & Co.   Sandra asked for custom quilting and I know I can never over quilt a quilt for Sandra as she loves to wash them right away to see the wonderful texture in the quilting.

This quilt has four borders so I quilted simple feathers in the outer border, then swirls, loops and a feather curl in the inner most border.  The sashing is all stitched in the ditch and I added CCs in the Nine Patches and loops in the white sashing.  I left the black with white polka dot fabric unquilted as that fabric needs to stand on its own!  I stitched in the ditch around the flower blocks and added feathers in each petal.  Then I added a feather motif in the white triangle background and CC’d the corners to tie in with the CCs in the Nine Patches.

I used white So Fine thread on top and white Bottom Line on the back, with Quilters Dream Blend for batting.

The backing is a white on white tiny grid print and shows off the quilting beautifully!

Since the quilt is called County Fair I had to take it to the Emo Fairgrounds to take a few pictures.
